Rate of energy produced by sun = 3.828 x 10^26 Watts
(Luminosity of Sun)
Energy produced by Sun in 1 hour
Q = (3.828 x 10^26) (3600 s) = 1.378 x 10^30 J
Combined Power of plant = 3.937 x 10^9 W
t = Q / Power = (1.378 x10^30)/ (3.927 x 10^9)
t = 3.51 x 10^20 seconds
t = 11.1 x 10^12 years
( thts is 11.1 trillion years)
